Egg Update

Egg-citing Days

Daisy layed the first egg, followed a few days later by Violet. 

The chickens layed 16 eggs in 13 days. As the days have gotten longer and warmer in March, the chickens have layed 105 eggs! There are usually 4-6 eggs in the coop each day. While many people say their chicken lay their eggs in the early morning, our girls take after their keepers and often lay in the late morning to early afternoon. We aren't morning people in this house. 

Opening the egg boxes each day is like a surprise party. How many eggs will there be? What colors will we find? Check out these beauties,

Our first dozen

Daisy and Forsythia lay pinkish-brown eggs. We get one blue egg and one blue-green egg from Violet and Petunia; we haven't figured out who is producing which color. Myrtle's eggs are brown with speckles. Marigold's egg are truly spectacular, check it out:
